Intel today released a new Sandy Bridge CPU, the Core i7-2700K. Compared to the 2600K processor, the new 2700K has some extra 100MHz, with a default frequency set at 3.5GHz and up to 3.9GHz with Turbo.
CPU World believes that the 2700K will run four cores with hyper-threading enabled. There should be 1MB of L2 cache and 8MB of L3 cache in all. The TDP is likely to be similarly to that of the 2600K at 95W. Core speeds will also be higher. The new Core i7 2700K may hit markets before the end of this year or latest, in the first quarter of 2012. Intel might choose to wait for AMD to launch their Bulldozer processors, before releasing the 2700K to markets worldwide.
The 2700K is sold for $332 (1000 units)
